About this dish
Bakmi (Javanese: ꦧꦏ꧀ꦩꦶ and Sundanese: ᮘᮊᮬᮤ, romanized: bakmi) or bami are a type of wheat-based noodles derived from Chinese cooking tradition. They were brought to Indonesia by Chinese immigrants from southern Chinese provinces like Fujian. They are typically seasoned with soy sauce and topped with pork products, which are substituted for other protein sources in predominantly Muslim Indonesia. Chinese-style wheat noodles have become one of the most common noodle dishes in Southeast Asian countries, which have significant Chinese populations. The noodles are known as bakmi in Indonesia, where they have been adapted to more closely align with the local tastes and into Javanese and Indo cuisine. Bakmi are between Chinese-style wheat noodles and Japanese udon in thickness, and there are several variants in Indonesia.
